Mirrors and Reflection

This is the bouncing of light rays off an object when it hits the surface.

Reflection

It is the ray of light approaching the surface of a mirror.

Incident ray

It is a light that travels in straight line path.

Rays

It is an object that reflects images and a wave reflector.

Mirrors

It is a flat mirror that reflects light and produces a virtual image without distortion.

Plane mirror

What does L.O.S.T. stands for?

Location, orientation, size of image, type of image

It has the shape of a piece cut from a hollow spherical surface.

Spherical mirror

This mirror produce both virtual and real images.

Concave mirror

Concave mirrors are also called as?

Converging mirror

In this type of mirror, light rays diverge after the strike a mirror.

Convex mirror

Convex mirrors are also called as?

Diverging mirror

These are mirrors with curved reflecting surfaces.

Curved mirrors

These are the method used to predict the characteristics of image formed in curved mirrors.

These are idealized model of light and drawn as a straight line.
